Expert Drywall Installation, Repair, and Finishing
Serving Sarasota & Surrounding Areas
Comprehensive Drywall Installation and Repair
Framing-ready installs, precise repairs, and long-lasting results
River Rock Painting & Drywall provides full-service drywall solutions for new construction, remodels, additions, and commercial interiors. We install the right board for each application, including 1/2-inch, 5/8-inch Type X for fire-rated assemblies, moisture-resistant and mold-resistant boards for humid areas, and cement board around wet zones. Our team corrects framing irregularities with shimming and back-blocking, follows proper fastener schedules, and uses control joints where needed to prevent cracking. We also offer sound attenuation strategies such as insulation and resilient channels to improve acoustic performance.
Our repair work restores walls and ceilings to like-new condition, whether it’s small dents and nail pops, stress cracks, or large cut-outs from plumbing and electrical updates. We cut back to solid material, ensure framing is dry and sound, and replace boards to match thickness and type. Paper tape, setting-type compounds for base coats, and quality corner beads create a durable foundation before finishing and texture blending. The result is a paint-ready surface that disappears into the surrounding area.
Level 5 smoothness, custom textures, and paint-ready prep
Our finishers deliver Level 4 and Level 5 results with consistent joints, feathered edges, and uniform surfaces that hold up under critical lighting and higher-sheen paints. We use paper tape for strong, crack-resistant seams, set durable corner beads, and apply high-build or skim coats as needed to achieve a flawless plane. Temperature and humidity are managed during curing for optimal bond strength and minimal shrinkage.
From modern smooth finishes to orange peel, knockdown, and skip-trowel textures, our team can match or update any aesthetic. We perform clean popcorn ceiling removals and blend transitions so old and new areas are indistinguishable. HEPA-filtered sanding and dust containment protect your home and HVAC, and we prime with the right build and seal to ensure consistent paint absorption and an impeccable topcoat.
Clear estimates, careful protection, and a clean handoff
We start with a detailed walkthrough to measure precisely, inspect substrates, and identify moisture or movement issues that could impact performance. You’ll receive a transparent, line-item estimate with options for materials and finish levels, plus a clear schedule and milestone plan so you know exactly what to expect.
Before work begins, we protect floors, fixtures, and furnishings, set up plastic containment, and use negative-air and HEPA filtration to manage dust. Our crews follow a quality checklist at every stage—fastener setting, taping, coating, sanding, and raking-light inspections—to catch imperfections like ridges, pinholes, and shadows before paint.
At completion, we conduct a joint walkthrough, address punch-list items on the spot, and hand over a clean, paint-ready space. You’ll receive maintenance tips, documentation of materials and finish levels, and support if you need insurance claim photos or reports. Our workmanship warranty and responsive follow-up provide lasting peace of mind.
